ALIEN VS. PREDATOR ARTICLES

December 5, 2008 - The 16-bit generation is a sentimental favorite for a lot of us, especially those from my generation, and yet it's one of the strange ironies of video game history that a veritable tide of new consoles tried their hardest to wash away the 16-bit generation before its time had come.
